Great app but needs updates
This app has not been updated, is there nothing that can be added to it?
Missing One Important Feature
This app needs to add a new optional setting to allow you to specify your home location (name of city, longitude, and latitude). World Sky Time Travel should then use your home location (if specified) rather than defaulting to Tokyo, Japan. It is a pain in the @$$ to have to specify the location every time I open World Sky Time Travel. If this feature were available, I would rate the app FIVE STARS.
Dissatisfied
As a casual enthusiast I was a little disappointed with this for the price.
The main feature has various tours of the night sky with the focus on constellation shapes and its associated Roman and Greek myths, rather than the science of the objects you are looking at.
There is a free mode that allows you to look at what you want, but I was surprised you can't zoom in on objects of interest. As a result, on a clear night you can see more with a pair of binoculars to be honest.
Issue with the starry sky location
I just bought this app for 25€ ( a bit overpriced). The overall impression is good, it is a nice planetarium app. BUT, there is a function of the app called starry sky in which you are supposed to have access to many location on Earth but I only get 3. The other one are with question mark and I can't interact with them. The app should be 512Mo but the download is only 250ish Mo. Does anyone knows what the problem can be ? Thanks
Nauseating Movement
The app description says it’s “comfortable.” I found the movement to be nauseating. I’m requesting a refund.
Stunning but...
It's gorgeous and educational but not worth the price in my opinion. Would not have paid more than $15 for this but yes it is absolutely gorgeous and relaxing.
